TUI specific commands

The TUI has specific commands to control the text windows. These commands are always available, that is they do not depend on the current terminal mode in which GDB runs. When GDB is in the standard mode, using these commands will automatically switch in the TUI mode.

layout prev

Display the previous layout.

layout src

Display the source window only.

layout asm

Display the assembly window only.

layout split

layout regs
